How do you get an ABCD matrix of a stub for a single stub matched network? I know that the regular ABCD matrix for a transmission line is: abcd matrix for tline.jpg

How would you express this equation for a stub?

I want to create a total s-parameter response graph on Matlab for a microwave pre-amplifier using single stub matching and i need to know the abcd matrix for each component; such as in the order of: stub, transmission line, transistor, transmission line, stub (with 50 ohm input and output terminations).

That's what I was thinking too, I just wanted to double check. I was also wondering if I can get the impedance of the series tline by using the Zoc equation? For a short stub tline I would use the Zsc but convert that to admittance instead, since its a shunt, right?
 

Have a look at the link in #5 in section "Input impedance of transmission line"

I want to exclude ZL though, I just want to know the impedance of just the transmission line without the load. wouldn't that be Zoc?

From your wording, I'm not sure if you want the characteristic line impedance (ZL) or the input impedance of the line with the other end open (Zoc) or something else.

I don't think you can understand even very basic things correctly.

I can not understand what you want to mean at all.

Wrong, although I can not understand what you want to mean at all.

There is no difference between open-stub and short-stub.

Difference exists for shunt-stub and series-stub.
See https://www.edaboard.com/showthread.php?371705#4

ABCD matrix(=F matrix) for series-stub is F={{1,Zstub}, {0,1}}.
ABCD matrix(=F matrix) for shunt-stub is F={{1,0}, {1/Zstub,1}}.
Here Zstub=Zoc for open-stub, Zstub=Zsc for short-stub.

That's all.

Wrong.
Surely learn very basic things.

This is what I was thinking in the picture I a drew, which is attached below. The question mark is in the picture. Can I set up the equation like that to get Zin(total), which includes the stub, the length of the main line, and ZL(load impedance)? if you think its incorrect how would you implement Zin(total) ?

Second and Third Matrix are both wrong.
Surely learn very basic theory of kindergaten level circuit.

Since you want to treat ZL as F-Matrix, Zin=A/C

That's all.

Again surely learn very basic theory of kindergaten level circuit and kindergaten level mathematics.

I believe that's what skatefast08 is trying to do. Surely learn some manners?


The reason the second matrix is incorrect is because you've applied the equation for a TL stub, and not the general expression for a TL. You might want the matrix for an unterminated TL here (hint: it has a function of Bl in every term). The last matrix is not correct, since the single load isn't represented by a matrix at all! (see here).

A better approach is to simply compute the input impedance of the stub, and the input impedance of the main line (both at the location of the stub), and then the input impedance is those values in parallel.

Good Luck!

No.
ZL can be treated as F-matrix for shunt element.

First Matrix has to be for shunt element.
Second Matrix has to be for TLine.
Third Matrix has to be for shunt element.

But skatefast08 apply followings.
Second Matrix is for series element.
Third Matrix is for series element.

Completely wrong.
I don't think skatefast08 can understand even very basic things.

What is A/C? alternating current?
Can you understand F-Matrix surely ?
F={{A,B}, {C,D}}.

You treat RL as F-matrix.
